Recently, the name Moonlightgirls has often appeared on Twitter.
Initially, it was because of their songs. When playing songs, people would always inadvertently see the singers' names. Such a girl group from China, whose songs are even more avant-garde and trendy than many American singers, is easy for them to remember.
Following closely behind is the TV series "Asian Horror Stories", which is heavily promoted by Moonlight and TikTok.
In the eyes of many Americans, they don't think highly of Chinese or Asian TV dramas.
The subject matter is limited, there is no money for special effects, and there are many cultural backgrounds that they cannot understand and identify with. They would rather watch all kinds of cheesy idol dramas on the CW channel than watch this kind of drama.
Who would have thought that "Asian Horror Stories," thanks to its strong publicity, eye-catching subject matter, and solid word-of-mouth, would also make a splash in the United States? Although it wasn't a blockbuster, it was very popular among teenagers.
At this time, Americans still didn't pay much attention to this girl group. After all, the mainstream media still didn't report much on this group.
It wasn't until the new album was released that the music industry was hit hard.
Now, the title of Pepsi's global spokesperson has directly pushed Moonlight Girl to the pinnacle of public opinion.
Foreigners are also asking whether they are qualified.
Zhou Yiyang opened Twitter and saw a huge crowd discussing the endorsement. It had even reached the third highest popularity globally.
"If it's just for the Chinese market, wouldn't it be better to let them be China's spokespersons?" someone asked on Twitter.
"If you don't understand, just ask. Do they know so many people outside of China? No one around me knows them at all."
"Saying you don't know her is too much. Don't you live in the desert? Aren't all the songs playing in the pub now? Only a nerd with no friends wouldn't know Yue Shao!"
"Apart from anything else, they're really popular in Asia and Latin America! When I went to Tokyo before, I saw their huge posters, and there were lots of people taking pictures underneath! Now there are a lot of people who like them in Europe too. Didn't 'The Red and the Black' become a number one album in the UK?"
"Actually, judging by all the data, they are qualified to be global spokespeople. However, compared to the influence of previous spokespeople, there is a gap."
"Who's to blame for the lack of a legitimate world superstar these days? If you don't like it, just stop buying Pepsi products!"
Tang Yue was lurking in her own fan group with a secondary account at the moment, and unexpectedly witnessed a very touching scene.
Some overseas fans spend a lot of time online. When they find that someone is taking the opportunity to create brainwash messages to discredit their group, these international students will take screenshots and send them to the group.
A few seconds later, these fans immediately climbed over the wall and started cursing at them.
"I have to say," Tang Yue couldn't help laughing as she watched the verbal battle, "our fans are incredibly powerful. These foreign netizens are completely outmatched!"
"I found that you have become the main fighting force." Su Yin said with a smile.
Lin Xuan'er wiped the sweat off her face and walked over: "What are you two talking about? Why are you so concerned?"
Tang Yue handed the phone over, and Wang Xingrui burst into laughter. "Tangtang, our fans are too strong! Use your emojis to fight back! I see a lot of people on Twitter think you're so cute and are downloading your emojis!"
Tang Yue froze for a moment, then said with a stiff upper lip, "Then it must be my particularly beautiful emoticon pack!"
"Don't kid yourself," Su Yin said excitedly. "It's all your eye-rolling, tongue-sticking-out, and other irritating emojis! And then you add some curse words, and the effect is amazing! But don't be afraid, foreign netizens will fall for it!"
"Indeed," Lin Xuan'er glanced at the comments and said impartially, "They all think you have a strong personality and are a true character."
Tang Yue shrugged her shoulders. It was nothing. Since it was a good review, she naturally wouldn’t mind.
But for Zhou Yi Yang and Yi Yang Entertainment, today was perfect.
The Pepsi endorsement was a done deal, and no matter how much netizens argued, it wouldn't change. On the contrary, their heated discussion brought direct benefits to the company.
Some people who may have had no feelings for Moonlight Girls and had simply listened to "Havana" developed feelings for them because of some radical netizens' disparagement of the four members of Moonlight Girls.
The fan abuse methods that are already quite mature in China are also very effective when applied abroad.
Now, what the Moonlight Girls lack is the opportunity to be exposed.
Fortunately, the Victoria's Secret Show is getting closer and closer.
"By the way," Zhou Yiyang sat in the office, legs crossed on the table, chatting comfortably with Bai Yangyu. "You told me before that Gao Yanyan was upset because of the Pepsi endorsement. How did you know that?"
"Well," Bai Yangyu said on the other end of the line, emerging from a luxurious building. He had just secured an endorsement deal for Luo Chen for a commercial vehicle brand. "Mr. Zhou, it was completely accidental. I somehow found out about Gao Yanyan's secondary Weibo account. His impotent fury on that account was hilarious. Oh, and he even threatened to terminate his contract with his agent, but his boss scolded him."
"Alt-account? He's not as good as Tang Yue in this regard. He registered dozens of smurf accounts and every time he complained, he used a different account. No one would even associate it with the real person."
"Yes. If you want, Mr. Zhou, we can also expose his secondary account..."
"Forget it, he just said it, he didn't do anything bad. Doing such despicable things too often will ruin a person's character. But you can send it to me to make me happy."
After Zhou Yiyang got the account number, he took a few glances at it and immediately burst into laughter.
He really didn't expect that Gao Yanyan would care so much about Moonlight Girl.
Every time they release an album, a new song, or a new drama, he would criticize them.
In Zhou Yiyang's opinion, Gao Yanyan was almost becoming a guardian star, but he was completely unaware of it.
"That's really weird. What are you thinking about competing with a girl group? As a male actor, you should at least be comparable to Luo Chen and Ling Hu!"
A few days later, Pepsi stores across the country also released a batch of new products, and the packaging was clearly Moonlight Girl.
Obviously, Pepsi had already started preparing before the official announcement.
After this operation, Moonlight Girl can radiate even in some less developed areas.
This also put a certain amount of pressure on the four of them.
"Honestly, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is going to draw a lot of attention," Lin Xuan'er said as she stretched. "If we don't sing well, there's going to be a lot of people scolding us, saying we're unworthy of our position."
"It's just like when we debuted," Su Yin made an apt analogy: "Being abroad is like re-debuting."
"That's right," Wang Xingrui nodded. "Then our first live performance in America must be a success!"
Tang Yue huffed angrily, "I want to tell them I'm not some celebrity who lives in emojis!"
